Red Velvet Ice Cream

Rich and creamy homemade Red Velvet Ice Cream | URBAN BAKES

This recipe is a repeat of last summer’s ice cream post from when I first started blogging.  I looked back and was pretty much repulsed by the look of my photos.  I knew it was time to do it over.  I would show you a thumbnail so you can compare the two but I rather not; too embarrassed.  So, this time with a better camera, better lighting and learned tricks on how to shoot frozen desserts without having it melt everywhere, I think I did a better job.

Nevertheless, despite the atrocious look of the previous photos, this ice cream is one I can say I love!  And what matters even more, Wes loves it too.  He claims he doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, I think he just has better control than myself, but as soon as I told him he could have it, boyyy did he dive right in!

With his lips stained red and a huge smile greeting me at the door, I immediately knew what he had.  And believe me when I said he dove right in because he didn’t hesitate after I told him just 15 minutes away from home entering the 1 train.  And you see, I love that.  It brings true joy to know he enjoyed something I made.  We all know he’s my toughest critic.
